Question
I would like to know can be orbitreck be used for exercising during the pregnancy?
Hi Sara,
I am assuming that you are referring to the Orbitrek Elliptical trainer. If so, then yes you can use that during pregnancy. However, I would only recommend that during the first few months of pregnancy. After that you will need to consult your physician about exercise. The intensity and amount of exercise will depend on you fitness level prior to your pregnancy. If you were not a regular exerciser then I would recommend speaking with your physician before starting any exercise program.
In good health,
Brandon
